A Wee Tale

‘Tis a wonder that I wonder
Now that March 17 is here
Whether that wee bit of Irish link
is really in me, as I hear…

“You’re a bit of mix,” they said to me
When I was so very small ~
“A little bit of this and that,
And all subject to recall.”

Grandma’am said, “don’t poke your nose
Into your long-lost past,
For you never know what you’ll learn,
Or the shadows that they’ll cast.”

I know I’ve a great link to Germans,
some Indian, and English blood, too…
But on bright days such as this,
I smile and partake ~ Irish stew!

I hear the lilt within my heart
And the sounds of dancing feet,
And t’were I to kiss the Blarney stone,
I’d think, “now here’s a treat!”

I believe there’s Celtic in my blood
Which feels so warm and pure,
But the pedigree of me is lost,
I’m a Heinz 57, I’m sure…

But today is the day to wear the green,
As each March 17th, I do,
So I’ll tip a toast and cheer ye all,
Indulging in corned beef, and cabbage too!

I raising a glass of wine tonight to the Irish - all I can drink.

1/8th Irish - Cahill is one side, but great uncle disappeared after being let out for manslaughter a long time ago and the family changed the name to Smith, Viking supposedly from the Geordie side, Norman - France from the other side, links to the Taylors mining in Cornwall.

Yes once you delve, you dont know what's going to come up.

Enjoyed your words

Aye Lass...I see your Irish eyes smilin' too!
So if your toes get to twitchin'
when an Irish jig you hear..
Come dance along beside me
Just don't hand me a green beer!

Happy wearin' o the green day!
